hola all 
not much new here... frantically trying to get through my performance evaluations (thought i was going to get slammed, but it turns out that the manager wants me to beef up my achievements over the next week so she can ask for a decent raise yay! apparently some stubborn argument that i got into with a solutions guy also got the attention of my director who now loves me and thinks i "get the big picture" and can argue my stance very very well, something few people do properly these days he's had very limited exposure to me (he came into the picture while i was on leave), but that's great that he has a good impression from what i viewed as a pi$$ing match LOL!!!
anyways... HF, i believe you asked, so my diet is going great... down 6 inches from my waist in 11 days! had someone ask me my secret and i told them my trick was to eat my weight in ice cream on a daily basis after getting my gall bladder out.. set me up real good!!!! but seriously, i gained a lot of weight after my surgery from just pigging out on all the things i couldn't eat before (and going into it i wasn't in all that great condition since i was eating all the bad things in the list of things i could eat)... so it put me at an unhealthy and uncomfortable spot of gaining a lot of fat quickly... i used to train and compete in physique fitness (think pee-wee bodybuilding ), so the diet i'm doing is a cutting diet from those days (it's a calorie capped south beach phase one)... and add in some piddly workout videos which just keep me active and toned (gym with my schedule isnt' a reality right now, but i do miss it!!!! ) and that's how i got here... WIP right now... can't get where i was, but i can get to where i'm going - sorry for the ramble!!!
oh and HF - YAY on Hubby's new job!!!! congrats to Mr Favoured
Nae... happy birthversary (whoo hooo new word), FULL-JOY it
Charlie... glad you and hubby are enjoying your time together its nice to just be a "normal" couple (whatever that is ) for awhile, isn't it!? lots of practice for days to come
